Hi.
Anafranil seems to have a unique pharmacological profile and it has been proven superior for the treatment of OCD and agoraphobia from the other ADs.
The problem for me is that i can't tolerate some of its side-effects.. Besides the full spectrum of the anticholinergic side effects that it gives me, it also causes me intense, disabling nausea. It's the nausea that i can't tolerate.
I read about people who take 30mg daily or even more and i can't believe it! 10-20mg are enough for me to make me stay lied on the bed, because if i stand up, i will vomit.
So, how do you fight the nausea? Do you take something else with it? I would really like to get some feedback from people who have some experience with Anafranil.
I would also like to know about which of its pharmacological action is responsible for this side effect.
Thank you.
